Loading Naoshima Ferries…
Every boat on and off the island by route and dock, the last boat home worked out from your clock, and the weather that cancels crossings — with Shikoku Kisen's live timetable linked.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Naoshima and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Naoshima has no bridge and no train — every trip on or off is a boat. There are two ports: Miyanoura (宮浦) on the west side, the main hub for the Uno and Takamatsu boats, and the smaller Honmura (本村) port on the east. This is the published timetable, worked against your clock to show the last boat home — not a live feed. Always confirm on Shikoku Kisen's own timetable before you rely on it.
